Your Ticket to Ride. Gear Units and Complete Wheelsets for Rail Vehicles 1
1 Worldwide on Track. Drive Systems for Rail Applications Urban railways or trams, metros, regional railcars, locomotives or high-speed trains and special rail vehicles: Voith offers drive components and systems solutions for all rail vehicles. The Voith portfolio covers all components of the drivelines: from a wide range of transmissions, diesel engines, cardan shafts and couplers to complete wheelsets, traction inverters and cooling systems to motor-gear units, RailPacks and energy absorption elements. No other supplier has such a comprehensive overall competency in the driveline. Decades of experience and meticulous research make us an expert partner for individual requirements. 2

Internationally networked for excellent service Voith meets local production demands in Europe, as well as in China, USA and India. Whatever the country of application, our customers receive local service and support be it during construction, maintenance and service or repairs of their vehicles. Our spare parts are available quickly and all over the world. Maximum speeds of up to 700 km/h Worldwide trains with our transmissions achieve maximum scheduled speeds. The current top speed with a Voith transmission achieved in trial operation on a test stand is at 700 km/h. Systems supplier everything from one single source As a systems supplier we offer complete solutions to our customers. Voith looks after the complete design, assumes systems responsibility and is thus the sole contact. Apart from logistics benefits, this also results in shorter delivery times. Reduced interfaces ensure fewer adaptation processes. 3
1 2 Reliability is What Drives Us. Hi-Tech Engineering, Measuring and Production Methods Voith offers complex engineering services already during the planning stage of the driveline. Our products meet the highest demands on quality, safety and reliability. On a production surface of 15 000 square meters Voith produces mechanical drives for rail vehicles at the location Heidenheim. The assembly runs in a strict cycle: every 1.2 hours a complete gear unit leaves the production hall. Worldwide, Voith has assembly capacities for over 10 000 gear units per year. Engineering methods for optimum design We use state-of-the-art CAD-3D for the construction of the gear units and complete wheelsets and optimize interfaces to adjoining components in the bogie. The finite element method helps us to determine loads within the component and to 4

With this and other engineering processes, for example multi-body simulation, we develop constructions and products that meet all anticipated stress loads and have an optimum weight. Prototypes tested under maximum load Prototypes are tested intensively. This includes tests under load, as well as measurements of the noise and vibration behavior. In the environmental chamber, the transmissions are put on the test stand and are examined under extreme temperatures. Each transmission undergoes a series test run before it leaves the Voith plant. Competency in material use For special applications that require an even lower transmission weight, Voith produces gear units with weight-saving aluminum housings. Many of our components also undergo special surface and hardness treatments, in order to ensure optimum strength and wear characteristics. Be it for specific customer requirements or for standard applications our materials meet the highest demands. 5
Good Press for all Gauges. Complete Wheelsets From One Single Source The Voith production line for complete wheelsets offers many advantages to vehicle manufacturers. We are the only transmission supplier to offer complete wheelsets from one single source. Out wheelsets comprise gear unit, gear shaft, wheels, as well as brake disks and wheelset bearings and are individually adapted to the respective requirements. Urban rails and trains, metros, regional railcars, high-speed trains, locomotives of special rail vehicles the individual components of the complete wheelset are perfectly matched. Shorter production times and increased safety With the Voith wheelset press at the location of our transmission production plant in Heidenheim-Mergelstetten we have finalized our systems competency for complete wheelsets. The new machine can press all types of wheelsets. Vehicle manufacturers thus enjoy up to four weeks shorter production times and benefit from increased safety - because we assume full responsibility for each wheelset, including design, assembly and testing of all components, as well as for the entire logistics chain. Voith wheelset press: up to 315 tons of pressure The Voith wheelset press has been designed for gauge widths from 750 to 1 676 millimeters and a maximum wheelset mass of 7.5 tons. With the two-cylinder RADS 2-315 press built by AE, wheels can be joined together at a pressure of up to 315 tons. The wheel sides are mounted consecutively, checked for counter pressure after a rest period and then measured. Customers receive a protocol documenting all processes stated in compliance with EN Norm 13260. Voith complete wheelset for heavy goods train locomotive 6

Seamless Dynamics. Motor-Gear Units for all Applications We offer complete electric drivelines as motor-gear units (MGU) for all trams, urban and standard-gauge railways. We supply everything from one single source, from motor and gear units to wheelsets one supplier for the entire system. We implement individual solutions and, apart from providing the electric know-how, utilize our comprehensive experience with transmissions and wheelsets. Service across the entire product life cycle Voith assumes the complete engineering of the motor-gear unit from systems design, calculation of the operating cycle and systems specification to construction, verification, testing and integration into the vehicle bogie. In addition, we carry out the service and the maintenance of the units, for which Voith is the sole contact rather than several different suppliers. The interface transmission-motor is perfectly adapted and allows dynamic drive characteristics at all operating conditions. The motor-gear units are particularly reliable and allow easy maintenance. Due to their compact design, they can be easily installed and removed. Motor-gear unit for urban railways 8

Designed for Maximum Performance. Gear Units for any Application Gear units from Voith are operating reliably all over the world. They are weight and noise-optimized and allow speeds of over 400 km/h. The reduced weight comes from the housing designs in aluminum and the patented bionic toothing. We offer gear units that are optimally adapted to individual axle loads, speeds and tractive efforts for all rail vehicles urban railways and trams, metros, regional railcars, locomotives, high-speed trains and special rail vehicles. High-performance components for any drive Our gear units for transverse or longitudinal drives excel by quality, reliability, high power density and proven design. Voith offers single and double-stage helical and bevel gears. They are available in axle mounted and, for extra protection of vehicle and track bed, also in fully sprung design.
